What does Forbes want? Prepare to be shocked
Many of us have heard of Forbes. We know it's a business magazine for corporate executives and investors. We know it draws-up lists of the richest people in the world, the biggest companies in the world, the most famous celebrities. But what does it stand for? Forbes does not have a policy platform, but does push for policy change. What are these policies? This session reports on a research trawl through five years of Forbes Magazineand its stablemate Forbes Global.

The Perils of Free Trade
The Impact of NAFTA on Mexican workers
North American Free Trade Agreement promised a better income and living standards for the Mexican population, but after 11 years facts show that only a few people have benefited from this type of trade. Minimum wages and average wages have decreased and, even based on the World Bank data, poverty has increased. This is not surprising when looking at premises in which this “free trade” is developed on.

SESSION 3
SATURDAY 27 August
2:30 - 3:45

Four years since Tampa:
Directions for the Refugee Movement
*** THIS SESSION STARTS AT SPECIAL TIME OF 3:00PM ***
Since 2001 we have seen not only the increasing use of race and nationalism in mainstream politics, but the emergence of mass movements for refugee rights and against war. The mistreatment of Cornelia Rau broke the major party consensus surrounding mandatory detention, delivering a significant victory for asylum seekers and campaigners. But now, in the wake of the London atrocities, the government is trying to turn anxiety about terrorism into support for the scapegoating of Muslim communities and the destruction of civil liberties. This forum will survey the political landscape today, looking at how progressive forces and the refugee rights movement can rise to the challenge. The future is ours to seize...

Freedom Ride 2005:
Aboriginal rights in NSW - How far have we come?
February 2005 was the 40th anniversary of the 1965 'Freedom Ride' when a busload of Sydney uni students led by Dr Kumantjayi (Charlie) Perkins went on a journey through NSW to expose the discrimination and racism against Aboriginal people. The 1965 Freedom Ride was a turning point in the Australian Aboriginal rights movement. To mark the anniversary a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous young people re-enacted the Freedom Ride, visiting over 13 communities in regional NSW and interviewing Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal locals about what had (and hadn’t) changed in the last 49 years and the state of race relations in their towns.
The findings of the ride will be presented and discussed in the workshop, including footage of interviews taken on the ride. Also included will be information about NSW based Aboriginal rights and anti-racism campaigns.

SESSION 4
SATURDAY 27 August
4:00 - 5:30

Nanotechnology - How corporations are remaking the world
Nanotechnology is being touted as the next industrial revolution that will transform our lives and our communities. But in whose interests? Many of the fortune 500 companies are investing heavily in nanotechnology – especially for military and surveillance applications - as they attempt to remake the world from the atom up. From nano-sensors to nanoparticles - nanotechnology is coming to a workplace or a product near you, with a range of health and environmental hazards (as if asbestos wasn't bad enough) as well as social and political implications. It's not just about 'what if nanotech goes wrong?' - even more concerning is 'what if it goes right!' This workshop will explore the basics of this emerging issue - what nanotechnology is, who is doing it, what the risks are, and what we can do about it.

Redfern under threat?
Defending community from development
The NSW Parliament recently passed legislation to establish a new Authority to oversee the redevelopment of Redfern (the Redfern Waterloo Authority). The new Minister, Frank Sator, has previously indicated that he does not want a concentration of Aboriginal housing on the Block and is considering knocking down public housing in Waterloo. The area also has one of the highest concentrations of state owned land, which the new Authority plans to redevelop. REDWatch is a residents action group set up to defend the diversity of our community and to monitor the activities of the RWA. The session will discuss what is happening and how we can get active.

The Re-branding of Sexism and
Womens Liberation in the 21st Century
Globalisation and neo-liberalism are driving increasing numbers of women into poverty worldwide. The majority of the world's poor are women. Women are also faced with an enormous ideological offensive from our rulers, aimed at reinforcing womens' roles as primary carers in the family. At the same time sexism is used to sell almost anything. But the ravages of global capitalism are also pushing greater and greater numbers of women into action against the system, around issues such as the degradation of the environment, exploitation, human rights violations and war. This session looks at how women are fighting back and the way forward from here.
Judy McVey
International Socialist Organisation

Another world is practical - just give us 20 years!

Chavez and the "Bolivarian revolution" have placed Venezuela at the forefront of the struggle to build a better society.

Che Guevara: From rebel to icon
Not just around Cuba, he's everywhere: you can find the image of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara on products like T-shirts, mugs, cigarettes and more. He's clearly a bankable commercial image. On the other hand, the image of Che for the Cuban government is important because people associate it with the idea of sacrificing yourself for the revolution, Che being its living embodiment. But this is 40 years after the revolution. This session will look at the life of Guevara as a historical lesson for us that starts with the presumption that revolution can be made, should be made, and the world needs to be changed. The question is "How?".
Mick Myles

Hot Politics:
Australia's uranium and nuclear weapons, waste & power
The mainstream media are calling for a debate, speculative exploration companies are mushrooming and the pressure for Australia to mine and export more uranium is intense. Australian uranium has the potential to fuel nuclear weapons and is certain to become nuclear waste. With nuclear reactors in our largest city and imposed nuclear dumps and uranium mines in the bush our national approach to this controversial and contaminating industry is in meltdown. But as Dave Sweeney and Eve Vincent detail - there is strong community and indigenous resistance and far cleaner and safer alternatives.

Eve Vincent, Independent. media maker & Irati Wanti campaigner

Permaculture, Peak Oil, and Urban Sustainability
Broadly, permaculture can be defined as a system of applied design for the creation of a sustainable human habitat. With debates raging about the global peak in oil resources, terminal environmental degradation, and our consumptive habits, permaculture represents a positive answer that anybody can practice. This workshop will introduce the main principles of permaculture while also providing concrete examples of permaculture practised at the Ecoliving Centre at UNSW. Come along to this open discussion and find out how permaculture is much more than gardening, and take some practical steps for the creation of a sustainable future!

Democracy without politicians:
Towards participatory and deliberative democracy
The fundamental political issue is not what the law/policy is, or should be, on any particular issue, but how that law/policy is made and changed; unless that question is adequately addressed, discussion of specific issues is at risk of being merely a futile distraction. This workshop progresses towards discussion of a participatory and deliberative democracy model (as a political system, amongst other contexts), by discussing: individuals and groups; individual motivation; the origins of ideas; "capitalism", consumption, and the high price of materialism; (professional) politicians v (amateur) citizens; a new legislature/executive relationship; principles of participatory and deliberative democracy; transitional models; and associated policies (hours of work, and employment selection (and termination) processes.

Young workers fightback

Directions for the Social Forum movement
There is much debate within the global Social Forum movement about the role of Social Forums. Should they simply reflect the diversity of the many struggles going on, or should they be spaces to strategise and argue a way forward for the alternative-globalisation movement as a whole? Visiting UK activist Chris Nineham, who played a leading role in organising and mobilising for the European Social Forum in 2002 (Florence) and 2004 (London), will lead off the discussion.
